I feel the same way. I love MGS but how many times can I buy the same game/ same art. Also, another set will probably be released again right before MGSV. But I may buy it later on for completion.
I remember a few years ago a smaller figure came out. This looks promising, I just hope it's not too expensive. I would love to see a Trigun and Nicholas D. Wolfwood figure.
I remember the MGS3LE problem. I had it preorder and it was not fullfillment. The prices sky rocketed but believe it or not I found a copy used in mint condition for only $25. I did get my HD collection LE and I think it was worth it. The art book is amazing.
